Abstract: The present invention relates to a collecting apparatus for round bales. The collecting apparatus has a frame device and a conveying device, which is designed to convey a plurality of round bales relative to the frame device in a conveying direction. The conveying device comprises at least two traction members, which are spaced apart from one another transversely to the conveying direction and are designed to rotate about a front deflection axis and a rear deflection axis and have a conveying run and a return run. The conveying device also comprises at least two conveying elements, which are arranged offset to one another in the conveying direction, extend longitudinally between the conveying runs of the traction members transversely to the conveying direction, are attached to the traction members, and in each case have a conveying section arranged centrally between the traction members.

Abstract: A bale accumulator for attaching to a round baler and for transporting a bale, with a carrying device for carrying the bale, which is adjustable into a loading position to pick up the bale, into a transport position to transport the bale, and into an unloading position to discharge the bale onto the ground, wherein the bale accumulator has two wheels, wherein the carrying device is mounted, as seen in a first spatial direction, at the height of or below a wheel axis of a wheel of the bale accumulator and/or that the carrying device is arranged between the two wheels of the bale accumulator. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a work train comprising a round baler and such a bale accumulator as well as a method for unloading a first and a second bale from a round baler of such a work train onto the ground.
